   naked patch is true, not a Tecmo stunt

   This story is true as the nude patch is real. It is not a publicity stunt by Tecmo. Though a modified X-box is required in order to apply the patch.

   Re: naked patch is true, not a Tecmo stunt

   Yeah but its a great publicity coup by Tecmo ANYWAY...its win/win, think about it.
   
   step one: Some hackers put out a patch that make their characters naked in the game.
   
   step two: Tecmo loudly protests....now even if they weren't behind the creation of the patch in the first place (and they probably arent) they win 2 things out of their protests:
   
   a - The look like they are champions of "morality" and setting parents at ease by the "outrage" they show at their game being so twisted around by unauthorized persons...
   
   b - They let their demographic (horny teens) know that there IS a patch out there and they rush out to buy the game.
   
   I mean lets face it, any company that creates a game with scantily clad bikini bimbos and advertises that its "sexier than ever" isn't really concerned about *gasp* nakedness. :)
